Starting a Fresh Life

Geoffrey J. Barratt

Magazine articles and television documentaries reflect popular concern about living—about styles of living, change of life, leisure living, and about life itself. Symptomatically, the term "life-style" has been thoroughly overdone.

The general interest in living and the common wish to have a fresh life are natural enough. An obsession with the belief of life in matter, though, can lead to a frantic grasping of life that can make us tense, depressed, and frustrated.

To start a new life—for a whole, fresh sense of living to bloom in our thought—these are three basic points: that divine Life is self-expressive, that man is the expression of Life, and Life's man is our true selfhood.
